TULSA (Oklahoma): Unheralded Mito Pereira became the first Chilean to lead a Major, surging three shots clear at the top of the PGA Championship third round leaderboard on Saturday, as miserable conditions brought many of the world’s best golfers to their knees, including Tiger Woods who withdrew. Playing in just his second Major, Pereira has refused to surrender to pressure carding a 1-under 69 to get to 9-under 201 and a 3- shot advantage over Britain’s Matt Fitzpatrick and American Will Zalatoris going into the final round. Woods withdrew after having the third worst round of his career at a Major, carding a 9-over 79 to leave him at the bottom of the leaderboard. Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
